Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken   Promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim   With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom   Forgive me for my unbelief, renew the fire again      Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me   Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me      I have built an altar where I worship things of men   I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You   Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing   Pardon my transgressions, help me love You again      Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me   Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me      I have longed to know You and Your tender mercies   Like a river of forgiveness, ever flowing without end   I bow my heart before You in the goodness of Your presence   Your grace forever shining like a beacon in the night      Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me   Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me      Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me   Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy   Lord have mercy on me
